ATTILA "LET'S GET ABDUCTED" TOUR WITH BAD OMENS REVIEW AND GALLERY.

Attila has been
bringing the party from Atlanta to every city and country they can
for over a decade. There was nothing short of fun chaos on their US
tour “Let’s Get Abducted”. That should make perfect sense
seeing how their newest album which was released in late fall of 2016
is titled ”Chaos”. They brought along an amazing line up of bands
to get the crowd going including, Bad Omens, and Cane Hill.
California based band New Year’s Day was booked for the tour but
was unable to make the entire run due to lead singer Ash Costello’s
injury she incurred to her foot right before leaving.

On Saturday March 12, the gaggle of
party animals made their presence known at the Chameleon Club in
Lancaster, Pennsylvania. With a packed venue, the security had their
hands full but everyone for the most part was there to have a good
time and to start no trouble. Cane Hill thrilled the audience with
single from their album “Smile” and had folks singing the words
to almost every song. Bad Omens tore the stage up with their energy
and charisma. They have a great sound; the band is very well put
together with an awesome stage presence.

Attila hit the stage full force. The
crowd went insane as soon as they heard the first notes of “Let’s
Get Abducted”. It seemed as though the energy between the band and
their fans was endless. As a fan of the band myself, their
performance was electrifying. While they were doing a fantastic job,
few knew that their current drummer, had himself a little accident
and was not playing that evening. It was fill in drummer Zach Philips
on the stage playing the tunes we all know and love. I had the chance
to catch up with Mr. Philips to get all the juicy details of what
ensued and how he was able to fill in that evening.

How did you get the opportunity to fill
in on drums for National touring band Attila?

“I moved to Lancaster, PA about two
months to join the National touring band, From Under The Willow. We
just got back from a short run two or three weeks prior to the show.
Wes Good (vocalist of FUTW) mentioned to me that he was going to see
his homie, who's Attila's tour manager, at the show and I asked if I
could come along. I couldn't pass up an opportunity to see one of my
favorite band's at The Chameleon Club. After grabbing some excellent
burritos it was almost time for the doors to open, so Wes and I
walked across the street to CI Records (FUTW's record label) and into
the famous "Cig Hallway". This hallway is located between
The Chameleon Club and CI Records. As we waited for Jimmy (Attila's
tour manager and Wes' friend), Wes received a text that he had to run
one of the Attila guys to the hospital. Then Jimmy arrived and was
franticly scrolling through his phone trying to find someone to fill
in. "He (Attila's drummer) can't play tonight. I don't know what
we're going to do", Jimmy said. So I spoke up and asked what
songs were on the set list. I knew all but four of the songs and told
Jimmy if he couldn't find anyone I would fill in. We parted ways and
met up with some homies inside the venue. Then I got a text and told
Wes, "I gotta go". We met back up with Jimmy in the "Cig
Hallway" and from then on it was all business. We walked down
the street and got in Attila's tour bus where I met all the other
guys in Attila. Kalan and Chris gave me the set list, a quick run
down on how the click tracks start for each song, and I began
listening to the songs. Time seemed to be flying by. I only had an
hour to warm up after finding out I'd be filling in for Attila.
Finally, it was show time. I went out on stage and looked up to see
over 1,000 people going crazy. It was definitely the best night of my
life. Surprisingly, I wasn't nervous at all on stage. All the guys in
Attila were awesome to me throughout the whole night. They made me
feel like I was apart of the band for the night.”

We here at BAH Magazine we asked to get the word out about one of our favorite bands Alter Bridge and the single "My Champion", we were ready and willing to help! Our review of the album can been seen here: http://www.bahmagz.com/2016/10/album-review-alter-bridge-last-hero-4.html but I wanted the fans to let the world know what the song and Alter Bridge means to them and they have shared some amazing stories in tribute to "My Champion" please enjoy!

James Schmid from Waterloo, Ontorio. Alter Bridge provides everything you'd expect from a rock radio hit, while also giving die hard AB fans everything they expect from their beloved band with My Champion.
The song opens with a guitar riff reminiscent of Def Leppards "Photograph" before hitting you square in the face with a "heavy for radio" sound that remains catchy without disappointing their "we like it fast and hard" fans. Their fan base, and music ranges in such a wide spectrum, it…

Hailing from
the colorful and music inspired Minneapolis, Minnesota comes the
unique blend of female fronted Metal/Rock/Industrial that is Gabriel And The Apocalypse. The
band delivers a fierce yet beautiful array of female fronted aggression that
will give their predecessors a run for their money.

The
brainchild of vocalist Lindy Gabriel, Gabriel And The Apocalypse independently
put out 2 releases which were backed by numerous national support tours around
the United States. Their intense and and professional style videos also paved
the way for the group to become an underground sensation. It was this
self produced success that led GATA to ink a deal with Pavement Entertainment
to which they immediately began work on their new album "The Ghost Parade". This new release (available October 7, 2016) is sure to propel the
band to new heights with major worldwide distribution and exposure. To kick off
the album's release GATA will tour with horror rock favorite Wedn…

Cane Hill brought their Louisiana industrial sound to the
Chameleon Club in Lancaster, Pennsylvania on March 11th of 2017. It
was a Saturday night which meant the people of PA were ready to party! There is
always a party following this band. Their energetic sound ignites something in
people. As they took the stage as the opener of the “Let’s Get
Abducted Tour” the crowd was anxious. They played multiple songs from their
2016 summer released album “Smile” and to the bands surprise most of the folks
watching them were mouthing the words. As they recently got back from touring
overseas it has come to their attention that they are steadily gaining
popularity. The link below allows you to find where they will be next along

for you. http://wearecanehill.com/
